I love this flower! It is also known as a Trollius! These flowers are awesome , they start out all wrapped up like a present and then they slowly unfold as shown in this flower. I like that you included the two that are just starting to open.
The main flower here is beautiful! It immediately draws the eye! It is perfectly placed within the scene and it's angle of placement allows such a good look at its shape and structure.
This is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is correct, nice tones in this Black and white.
Well composed and presented, best wishes to you in this contest!

Wow, I see many photos, drawings and such on this sight. But I never have seen anything like this. It is unbelievable. The black and white pops from the screen. Very nice details. I really don't want to see the color picture this is from. This says it all.

Delicate charm of flower is so beautifully captured in this photograph. Monochrome finish has only added to the viewing appeal. It's a beautiful composition and those two buds on the flanks are enhancing the viewing delight. Best wishes for the contest

This mixed media is extraordinary. It looks like a photo of an old negative on film. Your photo is perfect focused and treated with mixed media. The dark area behind the flower and the buds emphasizes the plant exquisitely. Your mixed media is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

This globe flower looks excellent in black and white. Focus and clarity are excellent, and the vignette adds a nice touch.
Good luck in the contest.

These flowers are usually yellow, aren't they ? But this one looks just as great in black and white. I like that buds are included as well, and everything is standing out from the background in an excellent way.

The photo is very sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the flower. The exposure is very good.

The format and framing is working well, and the flower has got a fine placement off to the right. I also like the matte vignette you have added, because it is giving the photo such a delicate look. A truly lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

This is a beautiful flower. The star of the show is in focus. The photo is well balanced and framed. Short DOF and an undefined background. It is a fine entry.

Amazing how black and white shoes such details. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this flower is great.nthe capture of the light is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

Such an eye catching image. Your use of the Silver Efex gives this a special look and feel.

The focus is just right with sharper details in the petals of the main flower while giving the overall scene a dreamlike quality.

A great entry for the contest and I wish you all the best in the judging ~ Steve
